Although Cao Shu's actions did not elevate the social status of women, they made many changes subtly.

Women who once could only rely on men now have the choice to work outside.

As long as they enter these jobs, Yuan Fang's female government will protect them.

Every day, Yuan Fang would send female soldiers to patrol everywhere, and she even arranged some people to enter hospitals and factories, specializing in the task of protecting women.

Cao Shu's status in women's minds has an unprecedented rise.

Although Shouchun's restructuring was not long, it was obviously relatively successful. Cao Shu ordered promotions in various places.

While restructuring, he did not forget to maintain the interests of his original nobles.

The maids and servants of each family have no personal freedom and are not allowed to participate in social work.

In this way, although the new policy has raised the status of some women, it has not touched many key interests, and it has been carried out smoothly in various places.

Sitting in the study, Cao Shuo piled up many reports from various places in front of him.

Papermaking was already in place during the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the materials used for papermaking were very expensive, and the paper was yellow and brittle, so it was not often used.

After Cao Shuo occupied Shouchun, he ordered craftsmen to improve papermaking.

After improvement, craftsmen can now make flat white paper. Although they are not as good as later papers, they are not comparable to those of Cai Hou papers that were once before.

More importantly, today's paper uses bark and discarded trunks as materials. While the paper is more delicate, it also promotes the reduction of prices. The use of paper has been promoted in many places.

However, Cao Shu retained his skills. He held the papermaking technology in his hands and did not spread it to the outside world.

The use of paper will facilitate more convenient recording and circulation of messages. This technology can stay as long as it can be in hand.

At least until he controls the whole world, this technology cannot be allowed to spread to other places.

In front of me was a thick stack of letters full of words.

Cao Shu opened it one by one, and it was all about the progress of building hospitals, factories and protecting women in various places.

"It seems that the new economy I am promoting is busy all over the country." After reading some letters, Cao Shu said: "Actually, when I first started to implement it, I was still worried that there would be resistance in various places."

"The young master's worries are not unreasonable." Chen Gong, who was standing aside, said: "I do hear that there are some conflicts in some places."

"Is it serious?" Cao Shuo asked, "How do you resist?"

"It's not very serious." Chen Gong said: "It's just that someone said that what the young master is doing now is to let the hen Si Chen and women participate in many important things. I'm afraid the world will be in chaos in the future."

"In fact, men are like women. If they are virtuous, they are stupid." Cao Shuo said: "There are so many people in the world, some are smart and some are stupid, and they are not divided by men and women. The so-called difference is that men's horizons will be more open, and women's way of thinking is somewhat limited after all. However, they cannot deprive them of their rights as human beings. Letting them also display their intelligence will only benefit the world, but there are no harm."

"What the young master said," Chen Gong said: "The other measures are fine, but this one..."

"Do you think it's inappropriate for me to do this?" Cao Shu asked with a smile.

"It's indeed inappropriate." Chen Gong replied: "But now it seems that women have saved a lot of strong labor when they go to various places to do things."

"The world is constantly moving forward." Cao Shuo said: "In a long time, people respected women, and everyone only knew their mother but not their father."

Cao Shu was talking about the matriarchal clan of primitive society, and Chen Gong had never heard of it.

Looking at Cao Shu in surprise, Chen Gong asked, "There is such a thing? I only know that it was Xuanyuan in ancient times, and Fuxi and Chiyou competed for the world..."

"What before that? Nuwa repairs the sky." Cao Shu said with a smile: "Why did Nuwa come to be, and Nuwa is the mother of each of us? That's because at the earliest, women were in charge of the world and ruled the world. At that time, there was no marriage, and every woman would have the closest relationship with many men, and strong men would also perform Zhou Gong rituals with many women. Because of this, the child born does not know who the father is, and cannot be passed on through blood. Of course, the person who talks about it is a respected woman."

"What the young master said seems to make some sense." Chen Gong asked blankly: "But why later..."

"This is what I said that women's vision is not as long as men." Cao Shuo said: "Women often value immediate interests more. They do not consider longer-term things. One year has passed, ten years has remained the same, and even a hundred and a thousand years has not changed at all. In addition, marriage later restricted the behavior of men and women, and the children born know who the father is, and blood inheritance appears, so men take over the world."

"Where did the young master know this?" Chen Gong swallowed his saliva and asked Cao Shu in surprise.

With a grin, Cao Shu said, "I have said a long time ago that I am well-read, from ancient times to the next life, there is something I don't know about in this world?"

Chen Gong was stunned and didn't know what to say.

Cao Shu continued: "Although women's vision is not as long as men, they can also distinguish the immediate interests. Some things we cannot see, but they can see them. Different ways of thinking determine the different angles of people. Whether men or women, what they can see is limited. Only by complementing each other can our world be faster and stronger."

"I understand." Chen Gong said: "It's just that some things are still more cautious when doing them. After all, these things have touched the interests of many people..."

"Of course you will be cautious." Cao Shuo said: "Only you can boil frogs in warm water, you can really cook them thoroughly."

Chen Gong didn't say anything anymore.

"By the way." Cao Shu asked him: "Have Ju Su been back?"

"Young Master ordered Ju Su to come back?" Chen Gong asked in surprise.

"I sent someone to send an order to let him come back first." Cao Shu said: "Izumo has been captured by us. What I want to do now is to strengthen the navy. The islands such as Yizhou in the south have not yet been occupied by the navy. We already have two fleets in the east. Now there are no navies in the south, north and west. These things will be done sooner or later. After all, what we want is not just the Central Plains."

"I'll ask someone to check it out to see if Mr. Ju has come back and if he comes back." Chen Gong bowed to Cao Shu with his fists.

Cao Shu nodded: "You go first, I have to finish reading these as soon as possible."
